"The girl from Whale Rider works in like, some kind of all girl castle and they all discuss…something?" Weird, I had no idea that The Toast was a part of Game of Thrones.
Sometimes I'll start giggling for no reason and my dudeman will sigh and put his arm around me and say "Are you thinking about that raccoon piece again?" and he will always be right.
Ugh. I graduated from high school with a group of girls like this. Most of a decade later they're all either cashiers or Christian missionaries.
My high school was kind of weird about books (in the years since I graduated there have been challenges to everything from Toni Morrison to Anne Frank, with the primary commonality being that things written by either white men or Jane Austen get to stay and everything else is Bad), so anything I would hypothetically suggest would no doubt be shot down.
In my experience, it's just the opposite of whichever option you were hoping for.
I've been away for a few days due to Being Bad At Job Interviews, so I apologize if this subject has been talked about to death, but I'm curious: how did y'all find The Toast? And what made you keep coming back?
My baby sis was geeking out to me last week about attending her first autopsy in the near future, and about halfway through the conversation I think she realized that someone would have to die for her to go and the mood became a bit more subdued.
In the seventh grade my friends dumped me and cited three massive social sins as the reason: my obsession with dragons and fantasy novels, my wardrobe of secondhand grandma sweaters, and my weird diet of vegetarian Mediterranean food and La Croix. The fact that those same girls are now yoga moms obsessed with Game of Thrones, "eco-conscious" living, and a vaguely hipster-esque devotion to flavored seltzer is baffling and beautiful.
I'm tearing up a little bit over an article about Subaru advertising. Today is a Strange Morning.
(I also saw The Book of Mormon last night and spent about a third of it bawling which doesn't seem like the correct response at all, so maybe I'm just extra weepy?)
